Police have arrested two teenagers after an allegedly stolen car evaded police twice in Melton and Bacchus Marsh on Monday.

Officers spotted a gold Holden Commodore allegedly driving erratically on O’Keefe Crescent, Bacchus Marsh just before 1pm.

Police attempted to intercept the vehicle on Young Street before it sped off.

The commodore, which was allegedly stolen from Ringwood on February 17, was later seen by police travelling on Maidstone Street in Altona.

Air Wing and police units on the ground followed the commodore along the Western Highway through Melton where it allegedly drove towards oncoming traffic on Monday.

Stop sticks were successfully deployed near Coburns Road in Hopetoun Park before the car came to a stop on Hopetoun Park Road about 3.30pm.

The occupants, two 16-year-old boys from the Bacchus Marsh area, were arrested at the scene.

They were taken into custody where they will be interviewed.
